| Abstract
|
The talk will introduce and overview briefly the evolution of the the
National Center for Laser Applications in the National University of
Ireland-Galway, describe its activites in research training and
technology transfer, and illustrate in more detail some specific
examples of the center's work with industrial partners. The centre has
a range of laser sources including several nanosecond (1064, 532, 355,
266 nm) YAG lasers, long pulse and femtosecond systems, high- power CO2
and excimer lasers, and a range of diagnostic instrumentation. Its
industrial partners include several multinationals companies in Ireland.

| Biography
|
B.S. and M.S. from NUI-Galway and Ph.D. from Queen's University of Belfast.
Background is in solid-state laser spectroscopy for almost 20 years, using
low-power laser sources to study impurity doped crystals, glasses, and
ceramics. Visiting Scientist for sabbaitical period at University of
Wisconsin-Madison in period 1982-1983. While continuing to work on
spectroscopy of semiconductors, in 1989 he established the NCLA to provide
research, training, and technology transfer services to industry in
Ireland. The spectrocopy activity has developed into a biophotonics effort,
while the principal activity of the center (approximately 20 researchers,
including graduate students) is in high-power laser applications with
industry partners.
